Download the New App Update!

March 27, 2018

Yep, we’ve got a new app release available for both Android and iOS. And the updates are pretty awesome if we do say so ourselves. Not only have we worked on stability, and made it easier to use, we’ve added new features like radar, which let you select any geographic area you want to find an Evo in, and alerts you when an Evo becomes available.

We’ve even made the app compatible with Amazon’s Alexa since she’s now available in Canada. You can check out the Evo skill on all 18 Alexa devices (including Sonos speakers).

Now Available: Evo Skill on Amazon Alexa

February 27, 2018

Evo is super excited to be the first Canadian Car share to introduce a skill for Amazon Alexa in Canada. Pretty cool, eh. You can now find, book and even cancel your Evo by voice using our new Alexa skill. Simply link your Evo account with your Alexa app and you’re ready to go. Wanna learn the Alexa lingo? Check out these suggestions on how to get Alexa to work for you:

Alexa, ask Evo to find me a car

Alexa, ask Evo to book me a car

Alexa, ask Evo how much time is left on my reservation

Alexa, ask Evo to cancel my booking

While you still need your Evo app to start and end trips, this free skill allows Members to find and book cars easier and faster from their home (or anywhere else an Amazon Alexa device may be!).

Fuel Card Changes

December 29, 2017

We always try to make sure Evos are fueled up and ready to hit the road. That's why we have removed the fuel card from our cars - so you can get where you need to go without worrying about filling up. Our cars should always be equipped with enough gas to get you wherever you need to go within our Home Zone.

If you're planning on a longer trip and need to refuel, it's easy to fill up. Simply fuel up your Evo, snap a picture of the receipt, and email it along with the license plate and time of your trip to info@evo.ca. We will process the reimbursement, and credit your credit card on file for the amount of the refill.
